We’d like to think this is a good idea, but somehow we can’t see using a Geiger counter as part of our morning routine. An alarming classic from the annals of advertising (okay, we could go into the healthful and hurtful aspects of radiation – you can go here for all of that – but we’re appreciating goofiness here):

Isn't everyone slightly radioactive enough to make the Geiger counter tick off a few times? I'm curious as to what amounts of radioactivity would be discovered in common household items we use everyday.

If anyone with a counter out there wants to make a youtube video showing how radioactivity is everywhere, I'd love to see it.
